CERTIFICATE OBJECTIVES

9.2.1  4 Disciplines of Execution: Focusing on the Wildly Important Goal (WIG)

It’s a fact that most employees do not know their organization’s most important goals—due to limited transition of organizational priorities to the front line. In this lesson participants learn that exceptional execution starts with narrowing the focus and how to clearly identify what must be done to achieve your top priorities.

• Why have goals? Is it really important?
• SMART goals;
• What are common causes of not achieving goals;
• How to choose the right WIG.

9.2.2  4 Disciplines of Execution: Acting on Lead Measures

With unlimited time and resources, you could accomplish anything. Unfortunately, your challenge is usually the opposite: accomplish more with less. In this lesson, participants learn where they can find real leverage and how to use it to produce extraordinary results.

• How to determine what are appropriate lead and lag measures;
• Understand how to choose predictive leading behaviors and measure them to accomplish goals;

9.2.3  4 Disciplines of Execution: Keeping a Compelling Scorecard

People and teams play differently when they are keeping score, and the right kind of scoreboards motivate the players to win. Participants will learn the characteristics of a compelling scorecard and learn to become more engaged knowing the score.

• How to set up a team scorecard and increase engagement;
• Make a simple, easily available scorecard that tracks both lead and lag measures;
• Learn to know at a glance, if you are winning.
